But in that hour of agony, the maid Deserted not herself; her very dread Had calmed her e and her heart Knew the whole'horrors v and Its only part. BENI. DARBY As Mr. Graham had, expressed in his letter the intention of being at the steamboat wharf in New York, to meet his daughter and Ger trude on their arrival, Dr.-Jeremy thought it unwessary for him to accompany his charges further. than Albany, where he could see them safely on their way, and then pronedto Bos. ton with his wife over the Western Railroad; —Mrs.-Jereruy—being•now impatient to Nreturn home, and hoeing; moreover, no disposition to revisit the great i rnetropolia of ,Nev York du ring the warm weather. • , • • . l'•Guod-byel Gerty," said the doctor, as be bade them farewell on the dock of one of the Hudson river boats. "I'm afraid you've lost your heart in,Saratoga; you don't look quite so bright as you did when we first arrived there. It can't have strayed far, however, I think, in such.a plaoo as that; so bo sure and find it before I see you in Boston." He bad hardl3 , 'gone, and it wonted a few minutes only of the time for the boat to start. when a gay group of fashionableo made their appearance, talking and laughing tot; loud, as it seemed to Gertrude, to bo well-bred? and conspicuous among them was Miss Clinton, whose companions were evidently making her the subject of a great deal of wit and pleasan try, by which, although she feigned to be teas ed and half offended, her smiling, blushing fade gave ovidepce that she felt flattered and pleased.

The rumor began to be circulated that they were racing, and racing desperately. Sornolew, regardless of danger, and entering upon the interest of the chase, with an insane and foolish excitement,, watch ed with pleased eagerness the mad career of rival ambition; but by far the majority of the company, including all, persons of reason and sense, looked on in indignation and fear. The . usual stopping places on the river were either recklessly passed by, or only paused at,'while, withindecent haste, passengers' -were shuffled backwardaand forwards, at the risk of life and limb, their. baggage (or aomebody's else) uncer-, emoniouely flung alter them, the panting, snorting engine in, tho. mean time bellowing': with rage at the check thus unwillingly im posed upon its freedom. Towards noon the fever of agitation had reached its height, and could not be wholly quieted even by the assu rance from bead quarters that there"mas no' danger. Gertrude sat with her hand looked in Emi ly'e, anxiouSly watching every invitation of . terror, and endeavoring to judge from the countenances and words of her most intelli gent lOoking fellow•travellers the actual de gree of their security: Emily, shut out from the sight of all that whe going on, but render= ed; through her acute hearing, vividly con scious of the prevailing alarm, was periectly calm thaugh very pale; and, from time to time, questioned Gertrude concerning the vi cinity of the other boat, a collision with .which - was the principal cause of fear.

Emily, however, still looked pallid, and, as Gertrude fanoied, a little faint. "Let us go below, Ecnily," said she, ..it apl pears now to be very quiet and sae. There are sofas in the ladies' cabin; where you can lie down; and we cp both got a glass of water." Emily assented; and Pin a few minutes was comfortably reolining in a:corner of the saloon, where she end Gertrude remained undisturbed until dinner time. They did not go to the dinner-table; it was not their intention froin the drat, and, after the agitation of the morn ing, was far from being desirable. So they stayed quietly where' they were, while the greater part of the passengers crowded from every partoftbs boat, to invigorate theiriSOWeii, after their fright s by the enjoyment of a aim tenable meal; which they hail reason to ex pect, as .the racing appeared to have ceased, and everything was orderly and pencealde.. , Gertrude opened her travellis g.bnaklet, end took . but the Package which contained tittle., luncheon.

His book is almost a series of pictures. scenes and incidents. .It is made up principally from a journal kept. with wonderful fidelity and graphic force, with some paragraphs here and there to carry on the story of the voyage more rapidly, and an occasional chapter on topics of geographical or more exact scientific interest. Among those last era the 'discussion of SW John Franklin's whereabouts- 7 -the controversy on prior discovery, Grinnell Land or Albert Land—the origin of the icebergs, and causes which cooperated with the short Arctic sum mer in forcing a pathway for navigation through deep 'set ice-coating of the polar sea, - till treated with on unusual degree of simplici ty and clearness, and without any • parade of soienne.
